1 x Humatrope HGH (Lilly) 72iu (24mg)

Human Growth Hormone
(HGH) is not only one of the most beneficial hormones our body
produces, but one of the most sought after in exogenous form. In an
exogenous form, HGH is identical to the naturally produced hormone, and
represents not only one of the most beneficial exogenous hormones but
one of the most well-tolerated among men and women. Its high level of
toleration applies not only to medicinal use but performance enhancement
as well.

Commonly, those in the media or in any popular culture conversation refer to Human Growth Hormone as an anabolic steroid. However, HGH is in no shape or form an anabolicsteroid.
Yes, it does carry strong anabolic properties, but being anabolic does
not make something an anabolic steroid. Food is also highly anabolic,
but no one would call chicken or ground beef an anabolic steroid.

The use of Human Growth Hormone was first successful in 1958. At this
time, HGH was a pituitary extract; it was directly extracted from the
pituitary of human cadavers. In 1985, the U.S. FDA would ban its use.
Extracted HGH had been successful in many treatment plans, but it also
proved to carry with it strong unsanitary disadvantages. In fact,
pituitary HGH was linked to CJD, a degenerative brain disorder that is
fatal. However, very few fell prey to CDJ, approximately 1% of all
users, but this was enough for the FDA to impose a ban.

With the FDA banning HGH extract, soon after somatrem would be
released. This was not a pure HGH match but rather a contaminant free
variant of the hormone. Shortly after, Kabi Vitrum of Sweden would bring
forth the means of synthesizing pure Human Growth Hormone. This would
be a pure synthetic and contaminant form of HGH known as Somatropin.
This process was made possible thanks to recombinant DNA technology,
and since that time all synthetic HGH, regardless of the brand, is
officially known as Somatropin. When it comes to the effectiveness and
traits associated with Human Growth Hormone, synthetic or naturally
derived there is no difference.

Human Growth Hormone Functions & Traits:

Human Growth Hormone is a protein hormone produced by the anterior
pituitary gland. It is produced by all living human beings, and is at
its highest levels during childhood. HGH represents one of the most
important hormones in the human body as it affects our bones, skeletal
muscle and internal organs, as well as plays roles in numerous other
areas throughout the body.

Human Growth Hormone also supports the metabolism of carbohydrates,
fats and minerals. Through its direct mode of action, it can also
stimulate the growth of connective tissue. Beyond connective tissue
growth, HGH has been shown to significantly increase the size and number
of cells in skeletal muscle. The hormone will also further support
triglyceride hydrolysis, which in turn will promote the reduction of
adipose tissue or body fat. So effective in its abilities surrounding
fat, HGH has been shown to significantly reduce total cholesterol
levels. This, among many other things can be very useful to the anabolic
steroid user as many steroids tend to support improper cholesterol levels.

In its direct functioning capacity, Human Growth Hormone sends a
signal to the cells in the muscle, bone and adipose tissue to promote
anabolism (muscle growth) and lipolysis (fat loss). However, it also
carries indirect traits in that it increases gluconeogenesis and
promotes insulin
resistance. In the end, all these traits give us a reduced sensitivity
to insulin, increased glucose levels and increases in the rate of
lipolysis.

On a structural basis, it is important to note the exact or precise
composition of HGH if you are going to purchase a synthetic form. This
is important as there are many HGH variants or fragment hormones but
they are not Somatropin. True Human Growth Hormone carries 191 amino
acid residues making it identical to naturally produced HGH.

Effects of Human Growth Hormone:

The effects of Human Growth Hormone are nothing short of tremendous.
Through supplementation of Somatropin, we can see improvements in
numerous areas of our physical wellbeing, and in some cases, they can be
dramatic. In a therapeutic setting, HGH is most commonly used to treat
pituitary dwarfism in children or to combat an HGH deficiency in adults.
This could be caused by pituitary cancer or simply be due to a lacking
of production that commonly occurs with age. HGH is also used to treat
those with HIV or AIDS, and has proven extremely beneficial in numerous
muscle wasting conditions. Synthetic HGH has also proven beneficial to
burn victims, short bowel syndrome and Prader-Willi syndrome, but its
most common purpose of use is as an anti-aging medication. When we look
at the effects of HGH, it won’t be too hard to see how it can greatly
improve the effects of aging.

In a performance setting, HGH has rapidly become one of the most
sought after hormones on the market. It is tremendously anabolic;
however, when used alone and at a moderate dose it is not well-known for
promoting truly massive growth. For true performance related growth,
the individual will normally need to use it in conjunction with anabolic steroids.
Anabolic steroids and HGH appear to work in perfect harmony with one
another. However, even when used alone Human Growth Hormone will promote
recovery far greater than most any exogenous hormone, as well as carry a
pronounced positive effect on the metabolism. As it pertains to
healing, HGH carries tremendous healing properties that can be
beneficial to nearly all areas of the human body.

Human Growth Hormone also shares a correlating role with the potent and powerful anabolic hormone Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1).
IGF-1 is highly anabolic, carries tremendous recovery properties and
affects nearly every cell in the human body. The use of HGH will result
in an increase in IGF-1; in fact, IGF-1 levels will remain elevated far
past the elevated HGH levels. It is, however, important to keep in mind
that IGF-1 can carry some antagonist effects to HGH, which could make
the use of exogenous IGF-1 supplementation ill-advised during HGH use
for some individuals.

Human Growth Hormone has in recent years been deemed the fountain of
youth, and as we look at the effects of HGH it’s not too hard to see
why. Will it prevent aging? Absolutely not, but it can undoubtedly make
the aging process far more manageable. In short, there are very few
healthy adults who would not benefit from HGH supplementation, and this
includes not only in a performance setting but in all walks of life. To
give you a direct understanding or appreciation, the effects of Human
Growth Hormone can include the following in both men and women:

Decreased Body Fat

Enhanced Ability to Maintain Proper Body Fat Levels

A Tighter Physique

Enhanced Metabolic Rate

Enhanced Sense of Wellbeing

Healthier Skin

Improved Sleeping Patterns

Increased Bone Strength

Increased Energy

Increased Joint Strength

Increased Lean Tissue Growth

Increased Rate of Physical Recovery

Increased Tendon Strength

Side Effects of Human Growth Hormone:

Overall, Human Growth Hormone is one of the safest hormones any man
or woman can administer to their body. This is not a foreign substance,
it is a hormone your body is well accustomed to, and more importantly,
one it needs. While overall it is a tremendously safe hormone, there are
possible side effects of Human Growth Hormone use. The most common side
effects of HGH include water retention, specifically around the ankles
and wrist, joint pain and headaches. Some may also experience flu like
symptoms, but such symptoms normally only exist at the early stages of
use and normally subside quickly.

The side effects of HGH can also include carpal tunnel syndrome,
which in part is often due to water retention related effects. Such
effects are most common among performance level doses of the hormone.
Hypothyroidism, a deficiency in thyroid hormone production is also
possible, especially with performance level doses. This issue can be
remedied by the use of Cytomel
(Liothyronine Sodium) or what is commonly referred to as T3. Some may
also experience nausea, dizziness, respiratory infection and numbness of
the skin. While possible, these side effects of Human Growth Hormone
are the least likely with moderate edema, slight joint pain and
headaches being the most common.

The side effects of Human Growth Hormone can become very problematic
when the hormone is abused. Abuse will refer to extremely high doses;
total use can be indefinite and often safe, but the dose must remain
reasonable. HGH abuse can lead to enlarged hands, feet and jaw, and more
severally to the enlargement of internal organs. The side effects of
HGH can also include short-term type-2 diabetes due to the hormone’s
ability to increase blood sugar and reduce insulin sensitivity.

The final possible side effect of Human Growth Hormone is an
irritated injected area. Small lumps in the skin or an itchy feeling at
the injected area are commonplace. You may need to move your injections
around to find the most comfortable spot. However, many enjoy injecting
their HGH into the same area every time as it is one of the few hormones
that have been shown to have spot injection benefits. Injecting
repeatedly into the same area has been shown to promote localized
lipolysis, which will lead many men to always inject their HGH into the
fatty tissue in their stomach.

Human Growth Hormone Administration:

Human Growth Hormone is an injectable hormone that can be
administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly. When injected
subcutaneously, HGH carries a bioavailability of approximately
seventy-five percent. When injected intramuscularly, HGH carries a
bioavailability of approximately sixty-three percent. The mode of
administration will also affect the half-life of the Somatropin hormone.
When injected subcutaneously, it will carry a half-life of
approximately 3.8 hours. When injected intramuscularly, it will carry a
half-life of approximately 4.9 hours. While this is a rather short
half-life regardless of the mode of administration, keep in mind the
total effects far outlast these numbers due to the pronounced and
significant increases in IGF-1 production that stretch far past the
twenty-four hour mark.

In a therapeutic setting, male Human Growth Hormone doses will
normally fall in the 1-3iu per day range. Some may receive as much as
4iu’s per day, but this is rare. For the female patient, Human Growth
Hormone doses will normally fall in the 1-2iu per day range. In some
cases, the dose may be slightly less than 1iu per day, which can be
common in long term anti-aging plans.

For the performance enhancing athlete, there can be a wide range of
HGH doses. For male athletes, 2-4iu per day is most common, and can be
extremely beneficial to athletes as well as those who are physique
minded. Such a dose will promote fat loss and all the recovery and
rejuvenation traits associated with the hormone. When coupled with
anabolic steroids, due to the synergy created between HGH and anabolic
steroids, you will see the standard steroid cycle greatly enhanced. The
standard anabolic steroid cycle becomes far more beneficial. For the female HGH user, the same traits and benefits can be obtained with 1-2iu per day.

While the above doses will provide a tremendous benefit, in a
performance setting in order to achieve truly remarkable muscle tissue
growth the total dose will need to be increased. Most men will need
6-8iu’s per day and for a very long period of time. More can be used,
and more will provide greater results, but it will also greatly
exasperate the potential for negative side effects. Females who wish to
approach true growth benefits will need to approach the 3-4iu per day
range.

Regardless of the total dosing, Human Growth Hormone is not something
that produces fast results. The hormone will be relatively useless if
only used for a short period of time. In order to promote fat loss and
enhance recovery, at minimum the individual will need 8-12 weeks of use
with 16 weeks being far more effective. For true anabolic growth, the
individual will need to plan on continuous HGH therapy at a decent dose
for a minimum of six months. In a therapeutic setting, specifically
anti-aging, total use will be indefinite. Most plans will call for
continuous therapy or at least therapy that last the majority of the
year.
